My Registration would not allow me to put my real age. i am 15 and got the surgery on July 2, 2010. I have been struggling with obesity for years. since i was 5 and I recently move to South America where the age restrictions are not as strict as in the United States. I am (so far) happy with the surgery even though im quite worried about ALL the possible complications. i've been told that you wait a year to make sure nothing wrong has happened. I am a bit curious as to how my late teens will go and if I can have a normal life (i.e. getting drunk with friends later on and having sex regularly without any issues). please, any help or guidance would be useful.
